The Malian authorities must carry out an effective and transparent investigation into the deaths of at least eight civilians following drone strikes that targeted a market on a busy day in Mali: Authorities must investigate deaths of at least eight civilians, including six children, after drone strikes in Inadiatafane last month. This strike should be investigated as a war crime, as the attack resulted in deaths and injuries among civilians and civilian objects were targeted, Amnesty International said today. According to information gathered by Amnesty International from several witnesses to the drone strikes on 21 October in Inadiatafane , located in the Timbuktu region in northern Mali, six children were among the eight civilians killed, while around 15 people were injured, several of them seriously. The Malian authorities must urgently investigate the decision-making process and execution of the drone strikes that caused the civilian casualties.
